Title: Mobile Radio Device Protected against Misuse by a Thief
Inventor: OSHIMA HIROYUKI
IPC: H04M1/67
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: A mobile radio communication device automatically transmits a predetermined response if it is called by another communication device (S5). It then listens for a specific signal, namely a secret ID number or a specified DTMF code (S6 - S9). On receipt of this the device is placed in a mode for disabling normal operation. This may be achieved by regarding all subsequent key operations as invalid (Fig.4), or by receiving a further telephone number to which all subsequent calls will automatically be made (S10, S12), and at the same time inhibiting reading from the memory of the device (S13). This aids recovery of a lost or stolen device.

IPC: H01F7/18
Filed: 1998-04-30
Abstract: A method or means of controlling an electrically powered actuator comprises monitoring the current flow through an actuator device and switching the current off when the current level reaches a first predetermined level Da and restoring the current when the current level falls to a second predetermined level Dm such that the actuator is held in an activated mode. The first predetermined current level Da may be within plus or minus 15% of the activation current level 1a of the actuator or it may be equal to or less than the activation current level 1a. The second predetermined current level Dm may be between 5% and 20% above the current level Im required to hold the actuator in the activated mode. The control system may provide efficient, small and light weight actuators which may be used within vehicles.

Title: Clamp assembly and a tube bending machine
Inventor: BHANDARI AJAY K
IPC: B25B5/08
Filed: 1998-05-18
Abstract: A clamp assembly for a workpiece particulate in a tube bending machine holds the clamp die and includes a base 26 and, a clamp die holder 28 which is spring biased away from and slideably engageable with the base. A spacer 40 is also attached to the base and is moveable between a first position out of alignment with the base and die holder and a second position which substantially blocks the space between the clamp die holder and the base, thus making a substantially rigid connection between them. The second position is adapted as the die approaches the workpiece and is used during the tube bending process. If an obstruction is present (eg an operators finger) the gap between the die holder and the base closes preventing insertion of the spacer. A microswitch senses the clamp die holder position and stops or opens the clamp die holder assembly if an obstruction is present.

Title: Flow section for measuring oil well effluent using gamma ray attenuation
Inventor: BERARD MICHEL VICTOR
IPC: G01N23/12
Filed: 1998-05-19
Abstract: A flow section for measurement of oil well effluents, typically containing oil, water and gas, comprises a measurement pipe in parallel with a pipe connected to the well head. Low gamma ray absorption windows (134,135), eg of beryllium, are fitted into recesses in the internal wall of the measurement pipe. The recesses communicate with housings (130,131) in the outer wall which are suitable for receiving a gamma ray source (120) and a detector (121) for measuring the gamma ray attenuation of the effluent to determine its density. The source and detector are removed between measurements, and protection members are placed in the housings. The source and detector may be placed on opposite sides of a Venturi throat having a pressure sensor to measure the pressure difference between two takeoff points. The pressure drop and the density values are used to determine the mass flow of the effluent.

Patent GB-2337339-A (GB)
Title: Beam deflector
Inventor: CHAPMAN MARK ADRIAN VINCENT
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A beam deflector (12) has first and second wedge prisms (20, 22), having refractive indices and geometries which are similar (in the case of the geometry to within arc minutes). The prisms (20, 22) are rotable about an optical axis (O) defined by the direction of propagation of the incident light beam (10), to adjust the angle through which the incident beam is deflected. A third prism (40) has a wedge angle which is greater than that of the first and second prisms (20, 22) by a factor of #2. The provision of the third prism ameliorates the need to match closely the geometries and refractive indices of the first and second prisms (20, 22), and yet avoids the ocurence of angles through which the beam may not be deflected as a result of insufficiently closely matched prisms.
